Prediction text
All five major AI labs will be worth trillions of dollars | All of all five of the major labs are going to be worth trillions and trillions of dollars.
Verbatim quote
All of all five of the major labs are going to be worth trillions and trillions of dollars.
Resolution evidence
All 5 major labs at $1T+. Currently: OpenAI $852B, xAI-SpaceX $1.25T, Anthropic $380B, Google (via Alphabet $3T+ but DeepMind sub-entity), Meta sub-entity. Directionally tracking.
